Emerald Isle Mafia #2
Dublin Devil
He is the most feared man in Dublin, and his reputation is hard-earned.
As the second born to the Quinn family, while my older brother, Tag, navigates the politics of running of our territory, I run our army.
The Dublin Devils is the Quinn motorcycle club, and we are a powerful force.
Roaring through the Dublin streets, I command both fear and respect from everyone north of the River Liffey—and from much of the McGuire territory to the south of the river as well.
Not that Quinns go south of the river.
The territorial lines between our two rival families were set in place by Da years ago, and even after his death, we honor the agreement.
The McGuires honor nothing.
So, when Piper McGuire, daughter of our enemy, shows up on our side of the river, bloody and beaten, there’s only one logical answer—send her back.
With tensions already high between our two families, she’s everything we don’t want or need.
And yet, despite hating myself for it—I do want her.
And even knowing it can never work—I do need her.
But there’s another problem…she’s betrothed to another.
Dublin Devil is Book 2 in the Emerald Isle Mafia series. This is a Dark Mafia Romance full of heat, betrayal, and survival that will take your heart hostage and never let go. Each book is a connected standalone with a completed story and HEA. This is a spicy Dark Mafia, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, arranged marriage romance, which features scenes of a violent as well as explicit sexual nature.

🍀connected standalone
🍀enemies-to-lovers
🍀Forced Proximity
🍀touch her and 💀
🍀Forbidden love
🍀irish & Russian Mafia
🍀virgin
Like his brother Tag, Sean is very protective. They live by a code, protect & help those who are in need, keep their streets safe. Being Mafia, there are enemies. His encounter one night leads him & his family down the path of more blood shed.
Piper, the only daughter of the McGuires, finds herself in an awful situation, beating and bloody makes her way over the bridge to enemy territory, she soon finds out everything she was told/lead to belive about the Quinn men is far from the truth. And who the real enemy is.
The instant attraction between these to i was here for it.
These Quinn men just keep getting better.
Can't wait for more.
June deBorahae is a new narrator to me
I will definitely enjoy hearing here again.
Jameson Adams that Irish accent was spot on.

It was an okay read, enjoyed the h a tad more than the H.
I so wished for more character development, but alas it wasn’t terrible just not enough. Same thing with the romance aspect. They fell into bed so quickly but how did they fell in love?

I almost gave up whenever h thought that she should still be loyal to her family, she should still go back home because her mom would worry sick. Hello, you were sold by your father!
Worst of all, after she insisted on going back home to face her family, she was assaulted, that was kind of rape, too.

Book 2 in The Emerald Isle series and listened to as a stand alone; though I will be finishing book 1 by the time this is posted 😌
The DD is a short and fast romance story, that had me finishing it in one sitting. It was a quick listen filled with forbidden romance, an age gap (almost 10 years), a broody MC leader and a very strong willed Ma-fia princess. Think Mafia/MC, but the Quinns have a conscious!
I loved the Irish accents and storytelling performed by @junedeborahae and @jamesonadamsnarrates. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something short and ahem *adventurous*. It will have you entertained!
Thank you @bluenoseaudio, @jlmadorewrites and @carolinamac5591 for the ALC.
Great performance by both VA’s 🖤

🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
The Capulets and the Montagues have nothing on the rivalry of the McGuires and the Quinns. And the love found between Piper and Sean despite warnings from their families would put Romeo and Juliet to shame.
June DeBorahae depicted Piper’s naivety so perfectly, and even as Piper discovers the truth about her family, June’s performance grows with her. Jameson Adams perfectly portrays the broodiness of MC president, Sean, while also nailing his more tender moments behind closed doors just for Piper.
Dublin Devil by Jenn Madore and Carolina Mac is book two in the Emerald Isle Mafia series. Performed in duet narration by June DeBorahae and Jameson Adams. Produced by Blue Nose Audio.

Dublin Devil is Book 2 in the Emerald Isle Series. This is Sean and Piper's story. Sean is the second born in the Quinn family, while his older brother, Tag, navigates the politics of running their territory and Sean runs their army. The Dublin Devils is the Quinn motorcycle club and they are a powerful force. He commands fear and respect from everyone north of the river, while the Mcguires take control on the south of the river. So, when Piper is found on Sean's side of the river, bloody and hurt he takes her in. As they get to spend more time together another problem arises. Piper later finds out she is betrothed to another.
I loved this book! I definitely liked this one a little more than the previous book. The writing flowed and was fast paced as well. Sean and Piper were so cute! Sean had me swooning. I loved how overprotective he was of Piper. He always had her best interests at heart. I enjoyed their banter. It was hilarious. Despite the age gap they complemented eachother. Piper was very mature for her age. I also loved that she didn't let her father dictate how to live her life.
Most recently I listened to the audiobook and loved it! Performed in duet by June Deborahae and Jameson Adams. These two were wonderful. Jameson is a new to me narrator. I loved his Irish accent. It was deep, but stern exuding Sean's broodiness. June also had a great Irish accent. Her tone was soft, but with lots of fire in it. She exuded Piper's will to survive. I felt the chemistry between Sean and Piper. As for the transitions between American and Irish accents, they were very good. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Audiobook coming soon!

**Audio review**
This book was a pleasant surprise! I'm not typically a mafia romance fan, but this book had me hooked from the beginning. Something about it drew me in and had me finishing the audiobook in 2 days.
The enemies-to-lovers trope was played out really well, considering Sean and Piper are from rival Irish mafia families. When Piper is all but dropped on Sean's doorstep after suffering at the hands of her own family, however, that rivalry is thrown out of the window.
Sean is a bit of an enigma, in that he is a mafioso and leader of a motorcycle club, yet he seems to have a good conscience and is fiercely protective of Piper when he finds out what she has been through with her own family. Piper has grown up under the abusive thumb of her father, and it has shaped her into a shell of a young woman. When she crosses into enemy territory one night and is rescued by Sean, she is taken under his wing and begins to learn what love can look like.
I liked them both as characters, despite some questionable decisions (going back to her family for a funeral despite what they've put her through?). The story was fairly action-packed and well paced, and the storyline kept me engaged throughout. Although this is the second in a series, it read well as a standalone and was easy to jump into without having read the first book.
Jameson was a new narrator for me, and I really enjoyed his performance. I will look forward to hearing more of him in the future. I have listened to several books by June, and I think that she is a powerhouse of a narrator. They both did an excellent job with maintaining the Irish accents throughout the story.

LOVED THIS! Best book of the series so far (I’ve read books 1-3 already)! Sean was being set up as the bad boy biker but this book immediately quashed those characterizations when Sean quickly put the Quinn Laws into action. He offered assistance to an injured woman, presumably an innocent - both of which the Quinn Laws identify as untouchables. When he discovers it is Piper, the daughter of their arch rival, he continues administering aid with the intention of helping her as well as protecting the best interest of the Quinn family as Piper was found on their side of the river. Once bother main characters recognize the other in the uncomfortable situation, we get a glimpse into their inner desires and naughty thoughts. The age difference bothered Sean more than it did me or Piper. I was hooting and hollering for her to act upon what she viewed as a crush and take sexy advantage of the situation they were in. I was floored when she so openly invited Sean to engage in a sexual liaison with her and thought I misheard the narrator of the audiobook, even listening to the scene twice to make sure I didn’t misunderstand Piper’s invitation and intention. The way Piper was accepted into the Quinn family by the end was heartwarming and a true testament to the Laws McCormack Quinn established and the way he raised his family. This was a happily ever after ending (or beginning) for Piper and she deserved the love of not just Sean but an entire family after the horror she was subjected to by her own father.

Audiobook Review--Dublin Rogue by Jenn Madore and Carolina Mac
Duet Narration by June DeBorahae and Jameson Adams
4.5⭐
“I shouldn’t want you. Every code I live by tells me to send you away. But my body, my heart…they’ve already decided otherwise.”
Tropes:
Enemies-to-lovers
Forced proximity
Arranged marriage
Mafia royalty/motorcycle club
Forbidden attraction
Survivor FMC
As the second-born of the Quinn clan, Sean commands fear and respect as the leader of the Dublin Devils motorcycle club. Piper McGuire, the daughter of a rival family, shows up battered and vulnerable—but she awakens desires in him he can’t suppress. Between family rivalries, forbidden attraction, and her engagement to another, their connection is explosive and impossible to ignore.
June DeBorahae’s performance as Piper gave her just the right mix of resilience and vulnerability, while Jameson Adams made Sean both commanding and dangerously alluring. Together, they elevated this story to a visceral, heart-pounding experience.
This book hits all the right notes and leaves you craving more from the Emerald Isle Mafia series. High-stakes romance, family politics, and steamy, dangerous love—it has it all.

This is the second audiobook in the Emerald Isle Mafia Series and while it can be listened to as a standalone, I am going to listen to the first audiobook to get some background of the dynamics at play. There are two families that control the area: the McGuires and the Quinns. Each family has their role but while the McGuires use force and whatever means possible to secure what they want, the Quinns live by a code and protect the innocent. Piper McGuire is looking to move up in her family and is under the impression that after her last task, it will happen…until the unthinkable occurs and she winds up running for her life. Sean Quinn is done for as soon as he sees Piper but what will happen when he realizes who she is? The authors are new to me, but this storyline is infused with drama, spice and a whirlwind of action to keep one’s ears glued to the headphones. The narrators, June deBorahae and Jameson Adams are new to me and they do an admirable job bringing the characters to life in duet style. Overall, it is an enjoyable listen, but I will caution those with triggers to read the content warnings and proceed with care.

I am completely invested in this story and honestly I have so many questions. Sean and Piper captured my attention so quickly. I mean who doesn't love an age gap/forbidden romance?
Poor Piper just wants to fit into the family business somewhere. She is the youngest of the McGuire children and the only daughter. Just when she thinks her crazy father is actually letting her into the business she gets a very wide awakening into how her father actually sees her. Be prepared to despise her father with every fiber of your being....I did.
Sean is not only one of the Quinn sons but also the president of the Dublin Devils MC club. He is also Piper's black knight. Him being the one to find her in his territory is the best thing that could have happened to her. He had nothing but distaste for her father before her and now, after caring for her that has just intensified.
I love the connection these two have. Age gap...who cares, the daughter of his enemy...she is better off with the Quinn's anyway. He is so sweet with her and so caring. He will do whatever it takes to protect her and make her his.
I definitely know my liking of this story was enhanced by narrators June deBorahae and Jameson Adams. I have yet to listen to an audio that June narrates and not completely love her work. She is so freaking talented!!! She even has an Irish accent in this one. Then there is Jameson Adams who is a new to me narrator and WOW....I enjoyed him. Their voices compliment each other very well leaving the listener wanting more.

Dublin Devil by Jenn Madore & Carolina Mac was a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled ride that kept me hooked from start to finish! As book 2 in the Emerald Isle Mafia Series, it delivered high stakes, intense passion, and all the danger you’d expect from a mafia romance.
Piper and Sean’s instant connection was so well-written that I didn’t just believe it, I felt it. Piper has been through hell, and watching her rise above it all had me completely invested. And Sean? From the second he stepped in, he was all in, protecting her, standing by her side, and proving that nothing, not even the mafia’s deadly grip, could keep him from her.
The audiobook was perfection. June deBorahae embodied Piper’s fiery, feisty spirit, and Jameson Adams his Irish accent and raw intensity made Sean’s character leap off the page. The danger, the devotion, the mafia chaos, this story had everything!
If you love action-packed mafia romance with a swoon-worthy, protective hero, this one’s a must-listen!

Dublin Devil is the second book in the Emerald Isle Mafia series. Sean is the second oldest Quinn brother. He is the President of the Dublin Devil’s MC. Piper is the only daughter of the rival Mafia family. She is Mad Mattie McGuires’ daughter. Piper has been trying to prove to her family that she could be an asset to the family business. However, a woman will never have a place in the McGuires’ business. She had blinders on in regard to her father and brothers. Piper was told to go and show the Russian a good time to help soften the deals. She didn’t agree to marry one of them in trade for guns. She ran for her life. The safest place away from her father and the Russians was across the river in the Quinn territory. Sean found her battered and bruised and took her to safety. Piper had caught his eye before but she was too young for him. Now she is an adult he can’t turn his eyes. Piper had always had a crush on Sean. She never thought he would be her savior and captor at the same time. This book moves fast. I love how Sean will do anything to keep Piper safe. Can’t wait for more from the series.
June deBorahae and Jameson Adams did a phenomenal job narrating this book in duet style narration.

This is the first book by Jenn Madore and Carolina Mac that I have read and I am going to have to back and read the first one now!
Dublin Devil was an enjoyable read. There wasn't a lot of surprise in the story and the FMC did annoy me at times with how naive she was but she did eventually grow a backbone. The MMC was written well and I didn't feel like there was a ton of growth there with Sean but overall I liked his character and storyline. The ending felt a bit unfinished with things not being fully resolved (I really wanted to find out what Billy did to Piper and get some better resolution to his storyline) but it could become resolved in the next books. I will definitely be continuing on with the series as I am looking forward to seeing what happens next! Solid 3.5-4 stars for me.
The narration was amazing. Both narrators were new to me and they did a fantastic job with the Irish accents and switching to an American accent when needed. 5 stars for the narration.

Overall: 4/5
Plot: 4/5
Spice Level: 3/5
Recommended: Yes
I jumped right into this one after finishing Dublin Rogue. I will say I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first one. Yes, it still had a touch of the insta-love trope, but Piper and Sean at least knew of each other because of their families. This is very much a Romeo and Juliet story. I absolutely HATED Piper's family for what happened to her, and that feeling made me not want to put this book down. I felt so bad for her and hated that, despite what she went through, she still felt that she was a disappointment to her family. Sean was a really great MMC. I did like seeing him stand up to his brother, especially considering Tag's relationship with Laine from book 1. As with book 1, I loved the relationship the MCs had with the brothers. It makes me excited to read the rest of the series. Overall, I liked this one better than the first book and think you'll find it engaging. The finale was really great and had me on the edge!

I did like seeing him stand up to his brother, especially considering Tag's relationship with Laine from book 1. As with book 1, I loved the relationship the MCs had with the brothers. It makes me excited to read the rest of the series. Overall, I liked this one better than the first book and think you'll find it engaging. The finale was really great and had me on the edge!

Audiobook Review
Duet narration by June DeBorahae and James Adams
Dublin Devil was a fast paced listen. I devoured this audiobook in one day and thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, characters, and narration. The Quinn brothers are exactly the kind of mafia men I like reading about. Piper and Sean are from crime families who do not do business the same. Piper is naive but also had a determination and strength about her. Her situation was cruel and made me dislike her family except for Rory. Sean and Piper were quick to fall in love/lust but it worked perfectly for them.
Narrators June DeBorahae and James Adams are both pretty new to me but found them easy to listen to. June was a great fit for Piper with her softness and James Adams did a great job with the Irish accent and portrayed Sean exactly as I imagined!

Dublin Devil
Sean and Piper come together after a horrible experience she had at the hands of potential business partners. Sean is the leader of an MC in Dublin and has the reputation to go along with the role. As they are from different sides of the river and have families locked in a battle Sean must keep Piper hidden in a safehouse while she heals from her ordeal. They have many choices to make and things to consider as they move forward in the story. June and Jameson did a great job voicing these characters. I an excited to see where the storline takes these families next.

Sooooo much better than book #1 - perhaps because I didn’t listen to it.
For the first book, I listened to the audiobook. Joe Arden was perfect, but I didn’t care for the female narrator. I decided I needed to find out more about the rival Dublin families and chose to actually read it. I am so glad I did.
Sean and Piper’s story is incredible. The way he cares for her after everything she goes through with her family is swoon worthy.
We get to learn more about the Quinn family and the McGuires - how their family dynamics work and how unhinged Mattie McGuire actually is.
Looking forward to book 3!

After reading the first book I didn’t think the rest of the series could live up to the emotional rollercoaster. I was wrong. My heart ached for our FMC , the protective and found family made my heart well.
The ending gave me such satisfaction and made me immediately wanting to continue the series .

Dublin Devil is book #2 in the Emerald Isle Series by Jenn Madore and Carolina Mac. Piper McGuire is the daughter of a rival mafia gang of Sean Quinn’s family. One night he finds her after an altercation she had and took her to his family home and the sparks started to fly. This is an a spicy age gap romance that was narrated by June DeBorahae and Jameson Adams. The chemistry between these two voice actors was amazing and the Irish accents are 🥵!! I am 100% looking forward to the next book in this series.

Huge thumps down for me.
Big, bad, Irish mafia guys and they love and care about people, while they're involved with some illegal, messed up stuff! Everyone in this book is all cute and sweet and caring, except for Piper the main female character's family and a couple Russian guys. I also have a lot to say about her, but i'm not getting into it. But, her and the main guy fall in love in like a few days? What?! Come on! Let's just say, I didn't like her or the story, at all. How this book has a 4.5 blows my mind!? Did we all read the same book?

Another amusing short story, this lot do make me chuckle, story is simple and easy going especially for beginners! So glad sean and piper got their happy ending would of been nice to see him pop the question before the bonus chapter mind you.. but sweet all the same least it had better ending than book 1 with the 8 month gap!
Love the way they all so close as a family its how all families should be and so glad sean got justice because well they were brutes through and through.. but i guess thats the joys of over seas company for ya..

Another great Emerald Isles Mafia story.
Piper, a McGuire - rival Dublin mafia family for the Quinns, gets into a pickle. Sean, a Quinn, saves her life. A few twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat in the climax add a sweet anxiety. But a HEA lands nicely.
The "age gap" feels a bit weird when you stop to think about it (19 & 29), but its not glaringly obvious, so its easy to ignore. I won't deduct any stars for it.
The spice is nice, but not overwhelming and does not overpower the plot.
I definitely recommend this series, wholeheartedly.

Mafia boys with a conscience
Who is good and who is bad? Who makes that decision? The McGuires don’t even pretend to be good. They get what they want through force and dominance. The Quinns on the other hand do have a code they live by and protecting the innocent and the weak are high on their list of priorities. Sean is a goner as soon as he sees Piper, who comes from bad seed, but is a good person. Waiting for the next one.

Dublin Devil
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 stars
🌶️🌶️ 2/5 spice
This was my first book by this duo and I really enjoyed it a lot. They story kept me intrigued and I really loved the cast of characters. I also really appreciated with this being a mafia book that there was no cheating, which always make me mad in these kind of books, but I wish there was more on page spicy times.
I plan to go back and read book 1 along with finishing the series. Can’t wait to meet the other FMC’s.

Holy Quinn boys
Really enjoyed this book. Twists and turns keep you on your toes. Seeing the internal wars they are fighting within themselves while trying to keep streets and their family safe.
I cannot get my head around their money being refered to as dollars and bucks. It knocks me out of my zone. But that is the only negative I can come up with.

I would recommend this book
This book is what you read a dark Mafia for it checked all boxes. The storyline and the writing do you in and held you there. There was action, suspense and just the right amount of romance and Spice. My favorite line in the book was while rough play can be fun pain isn't! Finally an author that gets the balance between an alpha male and an abuser.

Sean just wanted to provide for Piper!
I liked the dynamic of “I need to save her even if she isn’t from the right side of the lines”
Piper was thrown into a bad situation and Sean really gave her strength to stand up to everyone.
She wanted to try a lot of things with Sean and wish we would have seen more of that.

This was definitely a fast paced fun story! Sean and Piper give Romeo and Juliet vibes with insta love and just the right amount of spice! I loved the mafia and MCC aspect as well. I listened to this in audio and the narrators did an absolutely fantastic job. The accents were perfection and just brought the story alive for me! Highly recommend listening to this one.

Sean our MMC, head of the MC . Super protective finds the daughter of their cross town rival , Piper. Broken , bloody and beat to within an inch of her life . Her father had used her as a bargaining chip during negotiations w the bratva without her knowledge. Her father is making bad deals , putting a truce between the families null and void .
this story had all the good elements of a mafia story ! the action , the intensity, danger, and chaos !
the audio was absolutely perfect ! Jameson Adams was an amazing Sean... his irish accent was sooo good. June Deborahae brought Piper and her fiery spirit to life :)
